This is a wrong world, says Vettel after penalty costs him Canadian GP

Sebastian Vettel blasted race stewards who imposed a fivesecond penalty on the Ferrari driver that cost him victory in Sundays Canadian Grand Prix accusing them of stealing the race from his teamChampionship leader Lewis Hamilton was declared the race winner after Vettel was penalised for squeezing his rival off track as he rejoined during a highspeed incident on lap 50The stewards judged that the Ferrari driver had made an unsafe reentry and forced Hamilton off the circuit when he rejoined after running off across a strip of grass at the first chicaneWhere could I go said an angry Vettel on team radio I had nowhere to go They are stealing the race from us This is the wrong world This is not fairAfter initially avoiding the postrace ceremonies the crestfallen Vettel rejoined to appear on the podium where Hamilton pulled him up to join him on the top stepTheir mutual respect was clear in front of a capacity crowd at the Circuit Gilles VilleneuveWell first of all I really enjoyed the race and the crowd on every lap said Vettel without a win since last years Belgian Grand Prix and under pressure to repeat his 2018 success when he won from pole positionSeeing them cheer me on It was very intense I think you should ask the pit wall what they think but we had a great show and Lewis showed some good respectWhen Hamilton was asked to speak the crowd began to booAll I can say is that I didnt make the decision he explained So I dont know what theyre booing atVettel intervened People shouldnt boo at Lewis he said It wasnt his intention to be in harms way So people shouldnt boo at him They should boo at those who make the decisions Not the way I wanted This unity of respect followed their earlier comments when Hamilton thanked his teamFirstly I want to say a big thankyou to my team Its been a big effort for everyone with my crash on Friday to get the car sorted and I wouldnt have been able to raceBut thats not the way I wanted to win I forced him into an error and he went wide and we nearly collided Its unfortunate but this is racingSebastian Vettel is livid at his penalty switches the stand in front of Hamiltons car to be number 2

normally and when you come back on the track youre not supposed to go on to the racing lineHamilton added Thats not the way I wanted to win but I would have been past Physically I am destroyed It was such a tough raceAsked if the stewards decision would be critical in the title race Vettel said it was a question of principle above all elseIt is not about the title now we deserved to win now and that is our opinion he saidIt was a great race and the crowd cheered me on all the race Its a bit weird now I dont know what else to sayIt is not making our sport popular People want to see us race and it was racing It is just a shame when we have these funny decisionsLater speaking to reporters he added that he regretted racing in the modern era of officious decisionmaking and corporate language stirring fresh speculation that he may be considering his future in the sportHamiltons 78th career win was his recordequalling seventh in Canada drawing him level with Michael Schumacher and lifted him 29 points clear of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas at the top of the drivers championshipIt extended Mercedes record sequence of seasonopening wins to seven races five for Hamilton and
